Algeria plans 4 GW of solar tenders

The government has announced a plan to deploy new PV capacity at a mega site over the next four years. Around 800 MW of capacity is expected to be tendered annually up to 2024. To be eligible, it is anticipated all modules, cables and mounting structures must have been made in Algeria.

Algeria’s minister of energy, Arkab Mohamed, has announced plans for a giant, 4 GW solar project which will be developed through annual tenders up to 2024.

The $3.2-3.6 billion Tafouk 1 solar field is expected to be tendered in five 800 MW procurement rounds, starting this year, a local source told pv magazine.

Announcing the project on May 20, Minister Mohamed said the facility is expected to create 56,000 construction jobs and 2,000 roles once operational. The sprawling project site will encompass ten administrative divisions, or wilayas, in the Hautes Plaines region of the Atlas Mountains in northern Algeria.

Local content

“Local content will be an important component in these tenders for PV modules, cables and mounting structures,” said pv magazine’s source. “This is part of [an] Algerian government strategy to create jobs and local knowhow but the imports of raw materials for module production will be granted exemptions from import duties and [given] other fiscal breaks.”

The local commentator added, several Tier 1 Chinese module manufacturers are approaching Algerian counterparts with a view to developing unbranded, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) modules in Algeria using certified bills of materials to enable competitive pricing for made-in-Algeria products. “The Algerian PV supply chain is strong enough to take up this challenge,” said the source.

The source stressed the role the government had played in enabling the Tafouk 1 scheme, by removing the decade-old “51/49 rule”, which capped overseas investment in Algerian companies at 49%. That restriction was lifted at the end of last year for renewables businesses considered non-strategic.

To-do list

The government still needs to create the conditions to encourage foreign investment in order for the 4 GW solar plan to succeed, according to pv magazine’s source, and should also establish an agency with technical and financial expertise. “This will allow the emergence of an ecosystem [which can deliver] bankable contracts, among many other legal and contractual aspects,” they said.

A document recently published by the Algerian Electricity and Gas Regulation Commission predicted the domestic module industry would have reached 500 MW of annual production capacity in the first quarter of this year.

The Algerian government held tenders for off-grid, hybrid solar-diesel and PV projects last year. Both procurement rounds were part of the country’s plan to deploy 22 GW of clean energy generation capacity by 2030, including 13.6 GW of solar. Algeria had around 423 MW of solar generation capacity at the end of last year, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency.

This is your SolarWakeup for May 29th, 2020

Per Capita Solar. Solar isn’t always where we think it is. A lot of it is installed in very large cities like Los Angeles and San Diego but when adjusted for population, it could be a lot better. How does your city show on this list?

The Real Pressure in Oil. There is a lot of talk about divesting endowments and pushing major climate goals for the oil majors. In reality, there are hundreds of oil companies in exploration, drilling, pipeline and more that are backed or owned by private equity. Most PE firms will have 20 oil companies for a clean energy investment and that is the real pivot that needs to happen. This isn’t a climate statement, the market is adjusting its goals of where the returns and capital preservation are maximized.

Top Modules Rated. PVEL, whose CEO visited with us on a podcast last year, is out with its annual module reliability scorecard. How does your module stack up and to what extent is your business aligned with a module supplier?

South Korea introduces carbon footprint rules for solar modules

The regulations will come into force on June 15 and will entail panel carbon footprints being calculated according to life cycle assessments of their environmental impacts according to the KS I ISO 14040 Korean standard.

South Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (Motie) has fleshed out the rules which will see the carbon footprint of solar power projects taken into account when prioritizing new installations.

With the government having announced its intent to assess the carbon footprint of solar panels in March last year, and industry representatives consulted on the proposal in recent months, Motie has defined the new regulations, which are due to come into force from June 15.

Crystalline silicon module carbon footprints – for Korean as well as imported products – will be estimated using a life cycle assessment (LCA) of their environmental impacts which complies with Korean standard KS I ISO 14040.

The new rules will echo those applied in France, where large scale solar tenders take low-carbon manufacturing into account, as well as the price developers agree to accept for the power generated. South Korea, like France, has an extensive nuclear power generation capacity which will aid the low-carbon efforts of domestic solar panel manufacturers.

Motie in January published figures which contradicted media claims Chinese panel makers had been aggressively eroding the market share of Korean solar manufacturers. According to the government department, Korean solar companies provided around 72% of the nation’s PV panels in 2016, 73.5% the following year, 72.5% in 2018 and 78.7% last year. During the same period, according to Motie, the proportion of Chinese panels on the Korean market fell from 28% to 26.5%, 27.5% and 21.3%, respectively.

“The report stating that Chinese companies dominate [the] Korean PV market is not true,” said the government at the time.

Sustainability in solar and storage

A year ago, pv magazine launched the UP sustainability initiative. Our goal is to dive deep into the topic of what it means to be truly sustainable, looking at what is already being done and discussing areas for improvement. In addition to quarterly themes on issues including lead in solar and green finance, we have looked at biodiversity, sustainable flying and raw material sourcing in batteries. Read more, stay tuned and get involved! Check out our quarterly themes and UP coverage to date.

A 17.5%-efficient dark grey solar tile

U.K. business Roof Tiles Technology Ltd has developed a solar tile with a claimed efficiency of 17.5% and power output of 175 W per square meter. The company’s founder, Antonio Lanzoni, said a PV system featuring the product would cost 25-30% more than a standard solar rooftop.

U.K.-based Roof Tiles Technology Ltd has developed a solar tile featuring monocrystalline Perc solar cells which it says resembles a standard concrete roof tile and is suitable for new and renovated roofs.

The flat, dark grey, BiSolar tile has a power output of 18 W and efficiency of 17.5%, according to the manufacturer. “For each square meter, 9.7 tiles are needed, with total output reaching 175 W,” company founder and co-director Antonio Lanzoni told pv magazine. “The solutions we came up with are patented and offer strong protection for the product.”

The device is made of a PV-etched glass panel attached to a concrete roof tile and features 22%-efficient solar cells from a Chinese producer which is “well established in Europe,” said Lanzoni. Each tile includes a dozen 139 by 52.92mm cells.

The product carries a 25-year performance guarantee, measures 445 x 330mm and weighs 6kg, with the PV device contributing 1.2kg and including 3mm of satin tempered glass.

Price

According to Lanzoni, a BiSolar tile installation is 25-30% more expensive than a standard rooftop PV array. “But it looks a lot better,” said the company founder, who added, installation costs for BiSolar are cheaper than for rooftop panels. “The BiSolar tile can be installed by a standard roof installer like a normal roof tile, as they can be easily connected via simple MC4 connectors located under the solar panel,” said Lanzoni.

The company began marketing the product late last year but the Covid-19 crisis slowed operations in recent months. “However, we are now supplying to a selected number of potential partners the first pilot roofs in a few countries,” said Lanzoni.

Roof Tiles Technology wants to enter new markets and is said to be in talks with construction and roofing industry businesses about establishing production facilities outside the U.K. “Potential partners will benefit [from] the exclusive right to use our patent, an established supply chain and technical assistance, from the assembly process to roof installation,” Lanzoni added.

The founder of the business said BiSolar installations outperform roofs fitted with conventional tiles in the Wind Driven Rain test – which assesses the impact of rainfall on devices – and he said the product could in future become cheaper and offer better performance.

Manufacturing

Lanzoni said the product patent process was begun a year ago and first examination of the BiSolar tile has occurred. The patent requires the combination of PV with a concrete roof tile which does not alter the latter structure or enable water penetration. The product must also be a defined colour recognized for varnish, powder coating and plastics, with no blueing effect.

“PV panels are automatically glued to the roof tile surface in a very precise position defined by a robotic line,” said Lanzoni of the production process. “Seals are fixed on three sides of the PV panels.”

Roof Tiles Technology designed a production line with an annual capacity of 18 MW and Lanzoni said the fabrication equipment would be part of the package offered to partners who wish to manufacture BiSolar tiles.
